That would bring us healthy traits in the last part of the first block. Healthy materials in a whole, very big field. Many aspects have already been touched upon very briefly. Accordingly interesting is the question, how do I define healthy characteristics now, what does that include?

We have been working on this topic for years due to the increasing number of inquiries. Mainly out of our own passion, but also because we have noticed that when it comes to this, whether here in the exhibition or in the online database, when searching for appropriate materials, we often search for ecological, sustainable, green materials.

It is then difficult for most researchers to either compare and interpret the many seals and certificates that we have briefly mentioned earlier and to approach this topic using certain approaches developed specifically for themselves. We often observe the request that is sent to us, now especially in our database, we are often asked why is there not a button that can easily sort the thousands of listed materials into sustainable yes or no.

The terms sustainable, ecological, green, healthy already show what should I sort yes or no by now. Because in some cases this can even be contradictory. This famous button will certainly never exist like this; the topic is too big and too complex for that.

Accordingly, with this course, we would also like to give you food for thought and recipes, where in the future you will be able to categorize and research further materials yourself from the approaches you have now learned, properties.

In order to make the whole thing as tangible as possible, in order to make it as concrete as possible, we have considered in our material filter what parameters are relatively simple and easy to understand. A whole series of then and then filters have already come together.

Accordingly, there is no such thing as this yes, no button, but there is currently a steadily growing number of narrowing options with which you can very quickly reduce and narrow down the wide variety of materials to suit your needs.
